Food adulteration and illegal supplementations have always been one of the major problems in the world. The threat of food adulteration to the health of consumers cannot be ignored. Food of questionable origin causes economic losses to consumers, but the potential health risks cannot be ignored. However, the traditional detection methods are time-consuming and complex. This review mainly discusses the types of adulteration and technologies used to detect adulteration. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is also emphasized in the detection of adulteration and authenticity of origin analysis of various types of food (milk, meat, edible oil, etc.), and the future application direction and feasibility of this technology are analyzed. On this basis, MALDI-TOF MS was compared with other detection methods, highlighting the advantages of this technology in the detection of food adulteration. The future development prospect and direction of this technology are also emphasized.

The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in food products poses a significant threat to public health, necessitating innovative and sustainable antimicrobial solutions. This study investigates the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) using extracts to evaluate their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against MDR strains isolated from sold fish samples. The obtained results show that the contamination with reached 54.

Background And Aim: Vibrio parahaemolyticus a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium with salinophilic properties is found mainly in rivers, oceans, and coastal environments. With the expanding scale of aquaculture in coastal regions of China, the contamination of seafoods with Vibrio parahaemolyticus is becoming a significant cause of food poisoning with symptoms including gastroenteritis, wound infection and sepsis. Current methods for detecting this microorganism are unsuitable in the present context.

Coriander is a widely used spice, valued for its flavor, aroma, and nutritional benefits in various cuisines and food products. However, adulteration, such as the addition of sawdust, poses significant risks to food safety and authenticity. This study aims to present a solution for predicting sawdust adulteration in coriander powder by providing a detailed methodology for utilizing machine learning-assisted FTIR spectroscopy.
